Step 11: You’re back in the previous window just click the Next button. You can also tweak the setting at the bottom of the window to suit your preferences. When you’re done with all that, click the OK button at the bottom of the window. Then, set the encrypted connection type to SSL for IMAP and TLS for for SMTP, like I did below. Click the Outgoing Server tab then, tick My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication and select Use same settings as my incoming mail server.Ĭhange the Incoming server port to 993 and the Outgoing server one to 465 or 587. Step 8: Before you go on, click the More Settings button on the bottom right side of the window. Under User Name, type your full email address, then your password in the following field. Then, under Incoming mail server, type and under Outgoing mail server (SMTP). Input your name and full email address first. Step 7: Next, let’s proceed with the rest of the settings. Start by setting the email account to IMAP, under Server information, like I did in the screenshot you’re seeing below.

Worry not, if you do it right, it’s the last time you’ll be required to go through it (at least for this email account).

Step 6: This is the fun part, the one where you fill in all the settings needed. Step 5: Select POP or IMAP in the window that comes up, then click Next to proceed to the next step. Set the configuration process to Manual setup or additional server types and then click the Next button. Step 4: I probably don’t need to mention this, but I will anyway: the next step requires you to have your Google Apps email account username and password close by.

In order to start doing this, click the Add account button. Step 3: Let’s start configuring your account. Step 2: Make sure Info is selected in the menu on the right side of your Outlook 2013 window (not the Options one you used when enabling the Auto Complete feature). Step 1: Start Outlook 2013 and click File in the top menu of Microsoft’s email client. We use Google Apps here at Guiding Tech, so I’ll use my GT email account to show you how to do it. Configuring Outlook 2013 to work with your Google Apps email account isn’t too difficult, as long as you follow the steps below exactly.
